SAVED BY THE LYCAN KING novel Chapter 32

FERRIS' POV

Later that evening, I took a swim in the private pool of the pack. The water felt cool against my skin as I cut through it with each stroke.

Swimming helped to clear my mind. Well, boxing helped too but I was tired of having violent thoughts towards Jackson.

I was in the mood for a peaceful activity. As u moved through the water, found myself thinking of Elise. Elise. Her name alone sent a feeling of pain through my chest. I couldn't stand seeing her trapped in the situation she was in.

She had been turned into a maid! Elise was a Luna and now, they had degraded her and humiliated her so much. She didn't deserve that.

But breaking her free from him was proving to be more challenging than I had anticipated. Jackson had crafted those documents perfectly and finding mistakes in them was a lot harder than I imagined.

I swam to the edge of the pool and leaned against the side, wiping the water from my face. As I did, I noticed a figure approaching. Gina.

Damn. She was the last person I wanted to see. She was wearing a skimpy swimsuit that left little to the imagination.

I fought the urge to roll eyes. What did she want now?

She walked closer to me and bowed her head "Good evening, King Ferris. It's the perfect weather for a swim, isn't it?"

I ignored her, hoping she would take the hint and leave me alone.

Instead, she walked closer, her hips swaying deliberately. I sighed inwardly. The last thing I needed was Gina's attention right now. I had better things to think about.

"You look tense," she said, crouching down and placing her legs in the pool. "Maybe I can help you relax."

I pushed off from the edge and swam to the other side, putting some distance between us.

"I'm fine" I said. "Who gave you permission to come in?"

"Oh, come on, your highness," she purred "We could have some fun. You know, take your mind off things."

I clenched my jaw, my patience wearing thin. "I AM NOT interested."

She pouted. "It's fine. I know the game you're playing. I find it sexy actually."

Game? She thinks this is a game? I don't desire her even the slightest bit. The only woman I have desired so much was Elise.

Gina could never be half the woman Elise was. I ignored her and pulled myself out of the pool, grabbing my towel and heading towards my room. I needed to get away from her before I said something I'd regret.

Before I entered my residence, I stayed outside and took deep breaths. I thought of what I could do to free Elise from her prison. There has to be something. I'd gone over the documents a hundred times yet I couldn't find any inconsistencies.

This was frustrating. An innocent woman was suffering for crimes she didn't commit. After staying outside for a while, I decided to go in. The guards bowed as I made my way inside. I stepped into my room and I froze immediately. Gina was there, sprawled out on my bed.
